Bonfire Night

Yesterday afternoon we decided to light up a big pile of wood and branches. It had been a hot, still day, so having a bonfire was fairly safe. The afternoon was also beginning to turn cold and moisture was starting to settle on the ground, so any flying embers wouldn’t have much of a chance.

Below are some photos of the fire in various stages. Some of the photos look as if they were taken at night when they were actually taken late afternoon. This is a result of the cameras exposure settings. My favourite photo is either the last one which has the moon in it or the one where the fire looks like it has suddenly flashed down from the sky.

The New Kitten

Sorry for not telling you as soon as we got her, but I just didn’t get around to it. Well now you know. We have a new Devon Rex kitten called Sachi (certain family members would disagree…) who is now about 3 months old. The reason my mum bought a Devon Rex instead of a normal cat is because she is allergic to cat hair, and the Devon Rex breed has only very short hair as you can see in the pictures.

I just had to include the picture of Sachi yawing as it looks so cute, even though it is a bit dark.

Baby Rats Now Selling!

About 3 weeks ago my sister’s rats had about 11 babies, which are now being sold for $3 each. One rat has already been sold and a pet-shop has reserved 2 more. Below are some photos of the baby rats and their parents. Personally, I would take the acrobatic rat climbing above the rest. Which one would you like?

New Design for briter:webdesign

Go and take a look at briterwebdesign.com, because it’s just had a redesign! I was sick of the old boxy look, so I changed it to a fixed-width layout, rounded the corners and gave it a new look. Below is a list of the things that have changed.

  • The fluid layout has gone out the door, with a centred, fixed-width layout replacing it.
  • Navigation has changed from vertical to horizontal.
  • Title bar has expanded to fill the whole content area.
  • Footer has changed style with a striped background instead of a solid background.
  • Rounded corners are now in. All the main corners have been converted.
  • Text colour has changed from black to dark grey.
  • Headings are now all black (changed from different levels of gray).

I think those are just about all the changes. Email me or comment on this post to leave some feedback :)

Roadwork Plan for the Adelaide Park Rd - Woodbury Road Intersection

Recently my dad wrote to the Department of Main Roads to find out whether they were going to relocate the access to our paddock in the upcoming roadworks. He also asked for the old road to be left alone so that the paddock can be accessed easily. In reply we received a letter which included a design of the changes to the roads, creeks and drains near our place. I scanned it in and have published it below for you to have a look at. Just click on the image to load the larger version.
